Abstract

Traditional conservation of resources (COR) theory explains stress levels among participants in terms of whether the focal individual has sufficient resources to cope with environmental stressors. We posit the distribution of stress in one’s social environment is a key factor in resource conservation. Out longitudinal network study shows that the stress levels of one’s own social contacts contribute to one’s experience of stress, and that one’s susceptibility to social influence depends on certain personality traits. Moreover, we find social influence is substantially amplified when consensus in stress levels among one’s social contacts is high.
